Based in San Francisco
Hi, I'm Riiny, Technical Founder & AI Engineer.
I am an AI Associate at Crossbeam, based in San Francisco, working toward an AI Engineer role. My focus is applied ML: fine-tuning, eval infrastructure, distributed training, and the systems work that makes model iteration legible under real constraints.

Current Focus
Focused on my day job as an AI Associate at Crossbeam — data pipelines and LLM-augmented extraction systems — and building Bukra on the side, a cross-border transport platform live across six African countries.
Background
CS degree with a Studio Art minor. ML has been the through-line — coursework and self-directed projects through college, and now Bukra and a personal eval harness outside the day job. Building toward an AI Engineering role.
